Assessing the Event

The majority of the audience was satisfied with both the demonstration and the facility
after the event. The audiences were especially pleased with the demonstration of Face
Team and dance shows. All Star show, however, played friendly and no contentious left
the game behind the shows. According to a spectators' view about the event; the event was
really entertaining and successful. As far as I know, this is the first event ever in this venue
because it has just opened. It seems great after comparing with the other facilities in
Eskisehir. The crowd was also well. 3 point shootout, the talent competition and the
concert made us entertained. The match was not so contentious but quite good .But, by
drawing in the audience knew the victorious team, a gift was given, and then the teams
formed their own fans. Red and White team's players were introduced at the beginning of
the match one by one and when every player in the field greeted the audience by sending
them basketball balls. In addition, distribution of the small balls between periods also
excited the audience. After the game the lucky participant were determined by drawing
and present ceremony were celebrated by confetti's. Then the winner team's award was
given. After all Gripin was met with the audience by a concert.

The interest of the media should be evaluated when evaluating the event. After the event
was performed within the next week (January 17-21) news about All Star 2011 were
published in the local, national and sports newspapers and also on Internet pages.
